Inspired by a startling dream, Yang Yi’s photographs capture the essence of his disappearing hometown along the Yangtze River, recording the last bits of memories and the last inhabitants of the city before being flooded by the Three Gorges Dam project. In the sepia-colored works, the artist documents the city and surroundings prior to its predestined fate while conceptually immersing the residents under water before the final inundation. A reverie of human life still persisting in this submerged, quiet town that inevitably has now been washed away.
